Priorities
Quality Education
We need to continue addressing learning loss and improve academic standards to prepare our students for life beyond the classroom. We can help students and teachers achieve success by focusing on core subjects, limiting the use of technology in the classroom to technology that is intentional, limit the use of cell phones on campus, and incorporating career technology education and STEM programs to create successful pathways for all students after graduation.
Campus Safety
From ebike safety to school campus security, we need to create safe, stable learning environments for our entire community. Best practices for safety and mental health awareness on campus are evolving. We need to keep an eye on emerging ideas for the best way to protect students and staff on a daily basis. It is important to continue to support and develop parent education and student awareness opportunities.
A Voice For Parents
As a teacher and wellness educator, a CUSD parent of two graduated boys, and an active parent volunteer in the district and community for 18 years, I know firsthand how important it is to bring parents to the table to collaborate with educators and administrators. Parents know their children best. They have witnessed firsthand the emotional distress and learning loss experienced since the pandemic. Let's make parents feel valued by listening to them. Let's partner with parents in their children's education. Every voice matters.
Fiscal Responsibility
Our ability to meet academic goals, provide expanded career pathways, support students and staff, as well as serve as responsible stewards of taxpayer funds stems from the budget we create. Even though we are a community funded district based on property taxes, we need to attract students to our district with quality education and educators and maintain a stable budget so students and staff have every opportunity for success.
